Tuesday, January 24, 2017 is the 100th birthday celebration of Ernest Borgnine, An Academy award winning actor, a Navy man dedicated to enriching the lives of Veterans and the Navy family, the "Grand Clown" of Milwaukee's Great Circus Parade for 30 years, loving father, grandfather and husband to our Founder, Tova Borgnine.

Ernie, as he is affectionately called by friends and family, served in the U.S Navy for 6 years, having re-enlisted after Pearl Harbor was attacked, serving during World War II. With respect to those that serve the United States and their families, Ernie remained active as a civilian including visiting every Veteran Hospital in the United States to spend time with Veterans. In 1997, he received the Navy Memorial "Lone Sailor" Award, which is awarded to Sea Service Veterans who have distinguished themselves, drawing upon their Sea Service experience to become successful, while exemplifying the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. On December 7, 2000 he was named the Veterans Foundation's Veteran of the Year. In 2004 Ernie received the honorary title of Chief Petty Officer, a special honor bestowed upon him for his naval service and continued support of the U.S Navy and Navy families worldwide.

With his Mother's suggestion, Ernie went to Acting School after his honorable discharge from the Navy. She was quick to remind him that he enjoyed acting like a clown in front of people! His career as an Actor stretched over 60 years actively working until his death in 2012 and he was the recipient of numerous prestigious awards for his work globally, including his 1955 Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in the film Marty, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the 2011 Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award. From big screens to television screens Ernest Borgnine entertained and delighted those that watched him! His most notable television appearances include McHales Navy, Airwolf, the voice of Mermaid Man on the SpongeBob Squarepants cartoon and the Hallmark Channel holiday favorite A Grandpa For Christmas.

After appearing on the Johnny Carson Show where Mr. Carson asked Ernie "If you weren't an actor what do you think you would be?" Ernie's humorous response of "nobody has asked me to be a clown" led to the request by the sponsors of Milwaukee's Great Circus Parade for Mr. Borgnine to participate as the parade's Grand Clown. An honor he and wife Tova enjoyed for 30 years!

Ernie lived by the Motto: "Life is what you make of it.". He passionately with steadfast dedication entertained the world with his roles, lovable smile, infectious laugh and sense of humor. He traveled the United States in his Prevost bus, with his son Cris filming, to take in the beauty of the United States of America and to meet fans. Cherished moments by many who have memories of wonderful conversations, pictures and a good laugh!

Having been set up on a blind date by good friend Marty Allen and his wife Frenchie with his soon to be wife, Tova, both felt an immediate connection and spark! Married for over 38 years, until his passing, Ernie and Tova shared a vibrancy for life, romantic moments- they renewed their vows numerous times and family. It was not unusual for Ernie to call into QVC when Tova was on air selling her ΤΟVΛ® Beverly Hills Beauty products or ΤΟVΛ® Diamonique Jewelry to surprise her...and viewers!

Today we celebrate this milestone birthday with remembrances, pictures and stories from family, friends, and fans! To participate in this celebration, please include the hashtag #ErnestBorgnine100 in your Social Media posts. A special announcement came today, one that would touch the heart of Ernie. Mayor Curt Balzano Leng of Hamden, Connecticut, Ernie's hometown, made an Official Proclamation of January 24, 2017 being Ernest Borgnine Day!

The sun is shining brightly and many of us unintentionally overindulge in it's warmth while sitting by the pool or at the beach. With the strength of the sun, sun burn can damage our skin, cause discomfort and age us (that is worse than the pain!). I have always recommended wearing high quality skin protection, but what to do if you do find yourself looking a bit red, blotchy or have the after-effect of aging skin?

Our skin will look and feel "older" especially when it is depleted of moisture whether from the environment, age, our habits or overuse of drying make-up. This is exactly why I developed and manufactured the ΤΟVΛ® Cactine Skincare line back in 1977! Powered by the healing, rejuvenating and age-reversing qualities of multiple Cacti extracts with regular use your skin will become smooth, soft and brighter with reduction of fine lines. Safe and gentle for the most sensitive of skin, this botanical driven skincare line will bring a luxurious spa treatment right to your home! Use the Cactine Beauty Bar to gently cleanse your skin while it adds hydration and nourishes. Though designed for night time use, you may apply the Cactine Emollient for a deeply penetrating moisturizing, nourishing and healing ointment directly to burned area as needed.

Enjoy a special Summer treat (just in time to help sunburn damage too!) Tuesday, July 12th through Midnight Friday, July 15th on my website on my Cactine Skincare Products! At checkout use Discount Code: CACTUS10 and receive a 10% savings on your products.

Dear Friends,Today is a very special day for myself and the TOVA brand as will be March 2nd! Why you ask? It was today 39 years ago that I drove to the local post office to pick-up Ernie's Fan mail (which I did regularly) only to have the Postmaster inform me that instead of Ernie having mail I had a bag of mail!! This was shortly after the paparazzi had printed headlines that I had found a skincare secret they dubbed as a "Facelift In A Jar", which referred to my Cactine Masque. I took my mail bag home and much to my surprise as I started to open all the envelopes, women from all over the United States had sent letters to me saying they wanted to purchase the Cactine Masque with checks enclosed- combined all the checks equaled $56,000! At this point I had not started my company nor even production in large quantities of this glorious product. It was a chaotic few days as I conferred with Ernie as to what to do- and as always with his supportive nature he reminded me this is really what I wanted to do, so go do it! Within weeks I established the TOVA Corp (which will celebrate 39 years on March 2nd), signed production deals in Mexico, had packaging produced and product delivered so we could pack and ship to all of the women who so trustingly sent checks to me. It was all hands in, Ernie and our friends frantically packed boxes and shipped (I often wonder if any of the women who received the first deliveries knew that an Academy Award winning actor had so meticulously packed their boxes!) to my customers. From that little moment of time, which came about from you- the women who wanted high quality, effective Beauty products to make them feel beautiful and strong, it has been 39 years filled with creating, producing and continuing to add products that are unlike any other, filled with multi-beneficial ingredients, the highest quality ingredients and continue to be some of the most effective products found. Today, I reflected on how chaotic and scary yet exciting that moment was 39 years ago and how it was a moment that changed my life forever. I would have never dreamed that I and my brand would still be creating, producing and selling 39 years later- let alone have one of the world's top selling fragrances! I am excited that after a small break in production that this year I was able to start to re-introduce the Cactine Skincare line with more to come over the next year. And to think I have known and produced a Cactus based skincare line all these years with it's immense benefits that are more powerful and beneficial than even Argon!

Today, I send thanks to each and every one of you for giving me the opportunity to continue to fulfill my passions, without your love, support and continued purchasing none of this would be possible. I remind all of you, you never know when your opportunity to grab hold of your dreams and aspirations may "pop" into your life. It happens at the most unexpected times and no matter your circumstance, financial situation or preparedness- it is up to you to take the leap of faith and passion, grab hold and enjoy the ride, no matter how bumpy it may be at times!
